Freshet .-Charlestown was visite

Freshet.-Charlestown was visited
on Wednesday Of last week by what the
SPIRIT says was one of the most terrific
storms ever experienced in that locality,
accompanied with a fall of rain that
caused flood of water such as was
never known there before in so short a
period of time. 1t seemed but a few
minutes until the streets were flooded
from side to side, and Evitt's run was
way out of its banks, foaming torrent,
carrying destruction in its pathway. In
the town many cellars were filled with
water and the contents destroyed or
damaged. Fences were carried away,
gardens ruined and poultry drowned.
Farmers in the neighborhood sustained
considerable loss to crops. Lightning
struck shocks of wheat in the fields and
destroyed them on several farms. The
barn Of Mr.. j. Z. Il. Matthias was struck
by lightning and slightly damaged.

sented last night in Granite Hall, to a large
audience by the popular Bennett & Moulton

record bright in the able manner in which
this was given. The piece is richly dressed
and the artists skillful in their various roles,
showing careful training and study in their
work. Miss Mamie Siegfried as "Olivette"
rendered her part in very artistic way and
her rich voice and handsome stage presence
made her a popular favorlte. Gilbert Clay
ton AS Captain de Merrimac" created much
Amusement by his vivid portrayal of the old
marine. Sig. Jules Cluzeti as valentine"

tenor voice to good advantage
and his excellent acting told well.
Miss Eta Reed as "Bathide" gave the bright
little lady an excellent scope for some choice
work which she improved with telling effect.
"Marvegar' by J. A. Donnelly, was also
capitally given. Mr.. Jerry Slattery the pop
ular comedian took the part of "Coquelcot"
and convulsed the house with roar after roar
of laughter bv his wit and funny savings and
his local hits were given with ease and telling
effect. Frank Woody as "Duc Desifs" gave
this handsome young man room to score
success which he did. Miss Blanche Nichols,
sweet voiced and artistic in work, cared for
the part of "Monstique" we'll. Miss Emily
Waite made good "Velontine" and the
company as whole is one of the
best that has visited US, and
this afternoon the public can hear them IN

person receives beautiful Souvenir, and to-
night for the last time in "Chimes of
Normandy" when Gilbert Clayton can be

TYPHOID IN BRUNSWICK.
What Sec. Young Of the State Board
Of Health says about it.
Some OF the Causes which brought ON the
Epidemic.

How much truth is there, Doctor, in the
newspaper report of the prevalence of scarlet
fever in some sections of the Slater" asked
a Journal reporter of Secretary Young of the
State Board of Health.
"Well, there have been a few cases re-
ported TO the Board, bur the disease has not
become very prevalent as yet"
Glow did you find the typhoid epidemic in
your recent visit to Brunswick"
"There were about twenty cases re-
ported, mostly in the French district"
"What do you think is he cause of this 2"
"Well there are several causes. One is
the Increase in population without cores
ponding increase in dwelling Accommodations.
The priest, who kindly went with me through
this section of the town, informed me that
five years ago there were about one hundred
and sixty families in the French quarters. At
the present time there are twice that number
of people there, and yet the accommodations
are very little larger than they were then.
The result is that these people are packed
into buildings in a manner that is not only
unhealthy but makes cleanliness next to an
impossibility. The surroundings of these
houses are also bad. The sink drainage is
very poor and the outhouses filthy"
GLOW about the water supply in the town."
at is mostly suspicious"
"This water comes from wells does it not2''
eyes, the greater part of it."
The new water works are said to show a
very good chemical analysis "
"That may be. yet the fact remains that
the same water receives the sewerage of
Lewiston"
would it not be thoroughly oxidized in
passing the falls at Lisbon?"
Eyes to 3 great extent it would as regards
organic matter. 1t by no means follows that
this would destroy the germs of any disease
that might be present in the water. How
ever am not prepared to say anything about
the purity or inquiry of this supply. The
chemical analysis made by Prof Robinson of
Bowdoin College spoke well for it, and it may
be all that is claimed for it. There is another
thing that has contributed to this increase of
this disease in Brunswick"
"What is that?"
"a very large increase in the water supply
without a corresponding enlargement of
sewerage facilities. 1t is an experience that
many, perhaps most, of the Maine towns
which have water systems, have been through.
Enlargement in the supply Of water in a
place should go hand in hand with an en-
largement of the facilities for carrying away
will be decidedly dangerous to the health of
the community"
